Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Will: What conservatives truly want are activist judges. – Conservatives always say folks should defer to the law, until judges disagree with the conservatives. Then they say judges should defer to elected representatives, until elected representatives disagree with conservatives. Then, suddenly, they file lawsuits …
- Conservatives: overdriving their headlights – A nice summary of conservative (Right/GOP) thought at present. I’m not sure whether to worry more that they are leaving the reality-based political field to the Dems … or that they still seem to have influence and media coverage despite their incredible (or disingenuous) lunacy.
- Pam’s House Blend:: Inside the mind of a rational bigot. – The formatting is a big wacky, but this is a great take-down, at length and detail, of the whole “marriage is solely for procreative purposes and the raising of children” argument against gay marriage.
- This Land Is Your Land – SOCIALIST!
- Still Not Golden – Money graf: “It’s just plain wrongheaded to cast the libertarian project as the project of restoring lost liberties. Most people never had the liberties backward-looking libertarians would like to restore.

But restoration is a conservative project and liberty is a fundamentally progressive cause.”
- Conservative Dixie Carter on her gay fans – There’s nothing wrong with struggling with changes in society around you. But what’s wrong is ignoring the evidence of your eyes and simply clinging to the comfortable formulae of the past.
- Nanotech Vaccine Successfully Cures Type-1 Diabetes in Mice – Oooh … cool.
- Tree Railing | Design You Trust – That’s lovely.
